New York, Nov. 1.-Two men who
had been playing poker all night emerged
from bachelor apartment house on lower
Fifth avenue yesterday morning and stood
irresolutely ON the sidewalk. They were
fashionably and correctly dressed, and per
fectly suave in manner, though they had
both lost money and were sadly in need OF
sleep. The elder was a well-known man
about town, Captain of militia and good
fellow generally. The other was the rather
dissipated younger son of wealthy New
York family.
"Are you going down town now" asked
the Captain, as he buttoned his gloves
and licked speck of lint from his coat
sleeve. ar,
Nope, " said the other carelessly I'm
not dine till 1890 and it would never DO TO
startle them by arriving so far ahead OF
time 1t isn't s yet, IS it,"
"rust s, said the Captain, looking at his
watch
"WelI.n said the other, tits no use going
10 sleep, for a short nap only breaks me up
for the day after being up all night; so wed
better go to breakfast"
"Oughm shuddered the Captain. 81
wouldn't encounter the smell OF restaurant
for anything on earth now"
A bright idea struck the younger man and
he said
'Pil tell YOU what we'll do, Jim. If you're
game for a walk we'll start and foot 1t from
here up to the park, and breakfast at the
restaurant there On the terrace, right IN the
open air It's a good three miles, and we
can get little frozen absinthe on the cor
ner lust as an appetizer before We start
You'll feel as fit as a fiddle afterwards"
Five minutes later they started, and the
clerks and statesmen who We're hurrying
down town encountered two well-dressed,
palld and energetic New Workers pounding
away to the northward with ali the energy
in the world
At $50 the two men sat on the sunny side
of a terrace, with beautiful bit of wood
land scenery stretched out below them. fac
ing a table covered with snowy linen. They
drank strong tea, ate eggs Windsor herring
and tripe co ked with chopped peppers aud
other biting and appetlzing vegetables.
About 9 O'Clock they started IN leisurely
way with lighted cigars toward the en-
trance to the park They had just crossed
small stone bridge when the Captain called
the attention of his companion to the bride
path which ran under the bridge and
through heavy thichef Of woods.
Good place to meet girl on the quiet,
he said, shortly.
The other man smiled significantly and
nodded his head. Suddenly his face grew
pale. his jaw dropped and his eyebrows
came together in q Scowl. His companion
stared at him for a moment in silence, fol-
lowed the direction of his eyes, and saw
beautiful girl on horseback just in the turn
of the Bride path above the bridge. She
leaned back on her horse, resting one hand
on the beasts hack. and looked with extra
ordinary earneStness at her companlon-a
square jawed, powerfully-built and hand
some English groom. The mistress was
leaning so close to the man that their faces
were not three inches apart. HIS face was
a remarkable one in many respects. 1t was
perfectly colorleSS and smooth shaven. The
eyes were big, black and DEEPEST The man
talked with the impetuouSity of lover, and
the earnestness of the two loiterer3 in the
bride path was so pronounced that they
were utterly unconscious or time OF place.
The Younger of the two men on the bridge
said half huskily:
That's my sister taking her morning
ride. We've CHANGED along at exactly the
right time
There was a moments silence.
Can be OF any service to your asked
the captain, softly.
Thanks, no.n said the other, shortly. "Iu
take the little fool home.n
Don't brighten her." said the Captain,
squeezing the boy arm Paternally. That's
a nasty looking nag she's on
The younger man nodded and the Cap
tain strobe on few PAGES and stood in the
brush waiting in case his assistance was
needed.
On the bridge the white-faced brother
stood and bit his lips as he watched the
tabeau. Pres u : he struck his cane with
terrific for'.1 across the stone baluStrade,
breaking it into a hundred pieces, and shout
ell his sisters name in voice that was husky
and hoarse The pair started and rode SLOW
ly forward. The groom dismounted from
his horse and the brother stepped for
ward and dealt him stunning blow in the
face. The groom reeled but stood aside
with his hands clenched. The other man
he was scarcely more than a boy in years
looked at him quietly for minute bound
ed into the saddle of the groom's horse, and
cantered off with his sister riding beside
him. She had not uttered a word. The
boy had not even looked at her The groom
stalked away and the Captain who had seen
it all shrugged his shoulders, lighted u fresh
cigar and pursued his way TRANQUILITY down
